First-Order Circuits
• Determine the differential equation
• Find the forced (particular) and natural
(complementary) solutions
• Compute time constant (=RC; =L/R)
• Transient and steady-state waveforms

Second-Order Circuits
• Determine the differential equation
• Find the forced and homogeneous solutions
• Compute the natural frequency, 0, and the
damping ratio,  (or compute the roots, s1,2,
of the characteristic equation)
